[EDUC Research] Research Ethics Days 2025

Research Ethics Days 2025 - EDUC Research

The aim of this event is to offer researchers from the alliance an opportunity to explore together the contexts and modalities through which ethics underpins and improves research, through two days of meetings and scientific exchanges. 

The event will take place in a hybrid format on the Nanterre campus in the Weber building on December 8 and 9, 2025.

 

Main themes

The two days will be organized primarily, but not exclusively, around a few main themes with interdisciplinary overlaps, such as:

- Freedom of consent: the freedom of participants to participate in and withdraw from research at any time without consequences (no researcher/participant dependency relationship, participation in research brings no benefits other than those related to the research itself, etc.) and full knowledge of these rights, for example for students participating in their teachers' research;

- conflicts of interest: multiple sources of income, scientific bias, relationships of dependency, researchers wearing two hats

- data protection: the collection and archiving of research data in accordance with European data protection regulations (GDPR)

08/12/12, 14H-17H, Atelier pratique : Écritures partagées, processus éthiques, et pratiques du corps (Salle 2 Bâtiment Max Weber)

Ouvert aux doctorant.es sur inscription via ADUM (25 personnes max.)

Cet atelier explore l'éthique comme pratique corporelle “à responsabilité collective” plutôt que comme abstraction théorique. Inspiré par les formes participatives des arts vivants (performances interactives, théâtre forum, installations collaboratives), l'atelier vise à mobiliser une réflexion sur l'agentivité des corps au sein d’un espace de partage et d' interconnection à la fois intellectuelle et émotionnelle.  Àu travers de plusieurs exercices d'écriture créative et pluri-langages, de cartographie performative et de co-construction narrative, les participant·es seront amené à explorer une variété de démarches expérimentales tout en ayant pour but la mise en place d’une création éphémère ou “à micro projet” dans laquelle les corps deviennent simultanément sujets en action et joueurs d’une méthodologie critique.

Titulaire d'un doctorat en littérature comparée de l'Université Sorbonne, Claudia Dell'Uomo est actuellement chercheuse postdoctorale et travaille sur un projet de cartographie numérique des structures de recherche de l'Université de Nanterre, à travers une analyse qualitative et discursive de ses productions et projets institutionnels et universitaires. Outre l'enseignement et les actions universitaires, elle a participé à plusieurs conférences internationales et publié des essais et des articles sur la littérature contemporaine en sciences humaines. En s'appuyant sur la pensée critique moderne et en se concentrant sur les relations entre la sémiotique, la philosophie, la performance et le théâtre, ses recherches visent à questionner les épistémologies et les représentations issues de l'hybridation de binômes tels que pouvoir&savoir, nature&culture, corps&langage. Récemment, ses intérêts se sont portés sur la manière de renforcer les liens entre le design académique, la recherche culturelle et les pratiques éthiques, ainsi que la pensée critique et les perspectives minoritaires qui émergent des études sur le genre, la décolonisation et la durabilité.

09/12/12, 9H30-12H30, PANEL 2: éthique de la vulnérabilité, vulnérabilité de l'éthique (Amphi, batiment Weber)

Moderation: Cyrille Bouvet

9H30-10H30
- Intervention de Geneviève Bergonnier Dupuy (UPN) et Virginie Avezou (UPN), "Enquêter par questionnaire auprès d'enfants et de parents : recueil du consentement, anonymisation des réponses en amont, et anticipation gestion des situations à risque"

10H45-11H45
- Intervention de Anne Lacheret (UPN) et Alexandre Coutté (UPN), “Regards pluriels sur la notion de vulnérabilité dans la recherche"

11h45-12h15
- Vulnérabilité et résilience des doctorants
Intervenants: Samuel Babajee, Louis Bernigaud, Luc Courtial, Jérôme Cousin, Lilou Gautier, Luna Guillaumet, Beatriz Martins Cruz, Samy Mulachela, Nesma Salem 

Cette présentation porte sur la vulnérabilité de la condition du doctorant en sciences humaines et sociales. Elle confronte la littérature sociologique dédiée au sujet aux récits des doctorants recueillis sur le campus de Nanterre en 2025, à travers le prisme des questions que se posent des étudiants de master au sujet du choix d’une poursuite d’études en 3e cycle, des particularités du travail effectif qui y est mené et des mécanismes de résilience qui doivent y être développés.

09/12/12, 13H30-17H30, PANEL 3: ethics with and through art (Amphitheater, Weber building)

Moderation: Monica Heintz

Round table 1: 13H30-15H30

Discussion with Françoise Hatchuel (UPN), David Faure (UPN), and Marie Gourion (UPN) around the screening of the movie ‘Les Vulnérables’ (The Vulnerable), which comes from a collaboration between researchers and artists, and presentation of the process and stages that led to its creation.

Round table 2: 15H45-17H30

- Intervention of Ana M. Vernia Carrasco (UJI), "Ethics, vulnerability, and music education: a reflection for responsible research in Europe"

- Intervention of Claudia dell'Uomo (UPN), "Theater and performative spaces : giving flow and body to the voices from borders"


1/ Françoise Hatchuel, university professor in education and training sciences, head of the research team “Knowledge, relationship to knowledge, and transmission processes within the Cref (Center for Research in Education and Training)” (see https://cliniquedurapportausavoir.org/accueil-equipe-de-recherche/).

David Faure, psychosociologist, senior lecturer, research team “Knowledge, Relationship to Knowledge, and Transmission Processes” (Cref). Both are co-leaders of the “clinical” component of the ‘AtOri’ research project, winner of the priority research program “Autonomy, Aging, Disability.” https://cliniquedurapportausavoir.org/accueil-equipe-de-recherche/la-recherche-atori/ (The Vulnerable).

Marie Gourion, actress, dancer, director, trainer, writer, and writing coach. The film Les Vulnérables was written and co-directed by Marie Gourion, based on a proposal by Françoise Hatchuel and a research paper by Lise Vorgy, a clinical psychosociologist working on the AtOri research project.

2/ Claudia Dell'Uomo: PhD in Comparative Literature from Sorbonne Université, currently a Postdoctoral scholar with a project on a digital cartography of Nanterre University research structures, through a qualitative and discursive analysis of its institutional and academic productions and projects. In addition to university teaching and actions, she has participated in several international conferences and published essays and articles on contemporary humanities literature. By engaging modern critical thought and focusing on the relationships between semiotics, philosophy, performance, and theater, her research aims to question epistemologies and representations arising from the hybridization of binomials such as power&knowledge, nature&culture, body&language. Recently, her interests explore how to strengthen the links between academic design, cultural research and ethical practices, as well as critical thinking and minoritarian outlooks which emerge from gender, decolonial and sustainability studies.
